Hacker News
Based on the Hacker News JSON API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API)
to pull Top, Ask, Show and Job stories to your phone.
The only remote connection made by the app is to: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0
It caches the fetched items (Stories and Comments) in RAM, so previously read items
will be available without internet connection unless the application is closed.
Application theme can be easily toggled between light and dark and text size is adjustable.
Both articles and comments can be shared.
There is a "Links" screen which scrapes and displays links embedded in the comments screen.
Items are fetched lazily from the remote service on demand, mostly due to scrolling events.
Device local storage is used only for storing theme and font size settings.

works great, love the links function. 1star off because the Ask HN question text is not visible in the app. Will update review if the dev fixes.

I appreciate the minimalism and how it has no ads. Also it's very fast. But please add a search function.

I liked the link collecting feature and placement of bottom buttons within my thumbs reach. Also appreciate the minimal permissions and accessibility features.
The cache is too aggressive. If I see a story in the morning, it will not update the comment count if I see it again hours later, even if I refresh. On wifi I would like a way to get the latest data.
